Victor Charles Le Fanu (14 October 1865 – 9 August 1939)[2][3] was an Irish international rugby union flanker who played club rugby for Landsdowne.

Le Fanu was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge and would later play for Cambridge rugby team.[4] He won three sporting Blues, playing in all three Varsity matches from 1884-1886.

His father was William Le Fanu, a Commissioner of the Irish Board of Works, who more famously was the brother of Sheridan Le Fanu.

International career[edit]

Le Fanu was first capped for Ireland on 6 February 1886 in a home game against England. Le Fanu, still at Cambridge, had a difficult start which saw England win comfortably, in front of a then record crowd of 7,000. Le Fanu would represent Ireland on 11 occasions, and in 1892 he captained the team in all three home nation matches.
